Term limits might just result in a revolving door of corruption with people being fooled about how corrupt it is, because the bums get thrown out after two terms anyway.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Not if you don't have a clue who your successor is, and also have the inability to influence them at all.StCapps wrote:Term limits might just result in a revolving door of corruption with people being fooled about how corrupt it is, because the bums get thrown out after two terms anyway.

Re: Europe Boring Until it's Not
Good luck preventing that from happening. The successors will be hand-picked by special interests, and they will have a ton of influence over most. All the while you cut yourselves off of the opportunity for competent incumbents to hold political office for long, and who will likely be replaced with special interest pawns. Could easily backfire.The Conservative wrote:Not if you don't have a clue who your successor is, and also have the inability to influence them at all.

Re: Europe Boring Until it's Not
It won't be set up like jury duty, don't be naive. The special interests would never allow it, and they can veto any such attempts. That's what you get for setting up a vetocracy, where obstruction is the name of the game.The Conservative wrote:Then you have no idea how jury duty is done if you can say that.StCapps wrote:Good luck preventing that from happening.

They'll also never allow a third party, nor will anyone in a position of power consider the MHF's position on election policy.
